Pete Davidson Says Mom’s Rehab Zoom Was the Moment He Got Sober

His latest set points to a therapist-led family session as the catalyst for lasting change.

Overview

  • Davison, performing in Las Vegas on Saturday, said a rehab “family week” Zoom with his mother was the turning point that made him quit drugs and alcohol.
  • He explained that family week is a therapist-run call where relatives describe how the addiction has hurt them, which he called “brutal” to hear.
  • He added that he went back to treatment determined to follow through because he wanted to stop burning money on repeated rehab stays.
  • He has since presented himself as sober and said on a 2025 podcast that getting clean put him in a better place for a healthy relationship and for fatherhood.
  • He is now sharing the recovery story onstage and in interviews, using candid details to explain what worked for him and why it stuck.
